The sixth season of Netflix original American romantic drama series Virgin River premiered on the OTT platform on December 19.

As many viewers already know, the two protagonists- Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan- got hitched as what was wished by the fans of the show.

In the backdrop of the show's premiere, Virgin River showrunner Patrick Sean Smith revealed how it was to shoot the wedding ofMel and Jack- played by Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson respectively.

Opening up on Mel and Jack tying the knot, Patrick told The Hollywood Reporter, "I was very excited, also, incredibly daunted. But it felt like the opportunity to really pull off the best wedding season of television, which nowadays you don’t get that very often.

"It would have been like a two-part wedding event and this, we kind of lived in it from the first frame of season six until the very end, which was an incredible opportunity. I took in all the responsibility that went with it to make sure that the fans felt like they experienced it as much as the anticipation built up to it."
